Is there a good Android app for using offline OpenStreetMap maps? My primary goal is to have maps that work when I have no connectivity. I’d like to download the entire US (or perhaps another country if I am traveling) and be able to navigate hiking trails where no cell service exists.

    Magic Earth and Organic do not track your location or usage of the app. Both use offline maps so that activity stays local to your device.

      Magic Earth uses online maps and is closed source, so it could have code to track users and we wouldn’t know.

      OsmAnd needs Internet to download maps, other than that it works offline.

        You can download maps from Magic Earth and use the app offline. It could have trackers. On the other hand, Osmand is open source and definitely has code to track users.
